Andy received his BFA in painting in 1982 from the Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus, Ohio. After working 30 years as an illustrator and graphic designer as well as running his design firm Dearwater Design for 25 years, he started painting again, for himself. Andy moved to San Miguel in 2021 and has loved it ever since. He has traveled many places in Mexico which inspired the works in this Casa Europa exhibition. His subjects range from figurative to landscapes to still life completed in the studio and on location.
